Guestbook
“ I love the way the car looks, the food is alright, I had the mahi-mahi which was slightly overcooked, but the tots were awesome, and my husband loved his plilly cheesesteak. It was a bit pricy, but good overall, and the drinks are good as well. This was our second visit, and we will visit again ”
“ I only make my orders on Instacart. There is some obvious care put into the order. I can tell that they are really trying to make it good for you and little things like making sure you have all the toppings for the nachos package separately and also making sure that you have enough sauces and stuff. They really care about what they do. We are on Schofield and I can tell they just are really trying to do their best. Definitely recommend the spot. I never been in there, but delivery is great. ”
“ We have been to The Shack quite a few times. We only sat at tables until our last visit, when we decided to sit at the bar. Let me tell you something. Sitting at a table is a mistake! The service is hit or miss. But the bar? That's where it's at. Not only are the barstools incredibly comfortable, but the service was impeccable. Gigi took great care of us and made us feel more welcomed than all of the other times combined. We'll definitely be back! ”
“ We absolutely loved the shack in Kailua when we lived on that side of the island and were there all the time. Now that we live on the west side we got a chance to try the mililani location. It's WAY bigger than the Kailua location but with the same friendly atmosphere, excellent good and fair pricing. Great place to go to shoot some darts or pool and enjoy some great food while doing it. ”
“ We've heard good things about this restaurant so he wanted to try this place. We started out with an order of potato skins. Lots of flavor, cooked perfectly. $3.99 for a draft beer was a nice touch. I ordered the black and bacon cheeseburger. It was a lot of burger to keep inside that bun. Salad came out with it was nice and fresh. My wife ordered the Ahi Tuna wrap. The tuna was a little overdone and it wasn't well placed within her wrap. Most of it was in one end. The flavor was good and the quantity was huge. We also ordered the sliders. The fries and the tots were delicious. All in all a unique place with a good local vibe. Lots of friendly laughter inside. They had tables inside and out. They also have trivia night on Monday nights at 7:00. ”
